are these a little higher at the ankle for support ?

I don't find them to be any higher in the back for support. In fact, I have a heel spur on the back of my foot and they are very comfortable on it. I have wide feet and 2 heel spurs and these are the most comfortable sneakers I've found. Had no trouble walking all over Disney! If you have any foot "issues", I think these would be a good sneaker to try.

I think the are as high as you can go without it ribbing your ankle bone. I found they support ok. I have worn these because I have a wide foot and they don't bother the bones on both of my feet. I have had a problem with this pair that I havn't had before. I go on my treadmill 2 miles in the morning and 2m miles in the evening. The black was coming off in little specks and I was leaving a trail everywhere. It hasn't bothered the use of the shoe but I would really have to think about it before I bought another pair.

Yes, these are more of an arch support. Everyone's arch is higher or lower than someone else. Since one size wont fit all, they try to make a few different sizes of arch support so you can try to get one that is somewhat close. If you need an arch support these can help provide some relief. If you need an arch support and would like a professional fit like a doctor would prescribe go to Surethotic.com. They will make a support that is an exact fit and will last 10 times longer.

I use them for playing basketball when I tweaked my ankle. They provide good support, but I would not use them when looking for support only.

I have them just below the calf. That's only about where they go unless you force them to go up higher.

No, they go mid-way up the calf on me (size 9 feet). They do stay up during the day and are comfortable all day. The only issue I have is that they are too wide in the foot and the fabric gathers right above the top of a dress shoe.

yes. these have just a "bootie" foot - the wearer will need a boot to wear these.

I am 5'10" and they go up just below the knee cap on me. However, they do hold well and you could probably push them down and position them whatever height you want. It's a decent high sock with a cool design.

They are ok....my boyfriend prefers that there was a padded bar like some others we've seen...but he is very tall and bony. They are held in with a thick foam ankle cuff.

Yes, you should have the ankle supports as tight as you can get them. You might also try adjusting the height you have it set on. You shouldn't experience much movement when you invert.

The sock in general does not provide support. Doubtful that it would provide heel support. That said, they are very comfortable socks, with slightly more than average cushioning.

no, they try to not compress the feet or calves. They still stay up pretty well and are very comfortable.

I wear them during physical therapy. My educated guess would be "no" in reference to boot-cut jeans. You can adjust the weight. They are bulky enough to be uncomfortable under boot-cut jeans. The All Pro Weight Adjustable Ankle... Were recommended by my PT. I suggest a wardrobe change. Just saying!

No, you need to order two. They come with a separate heel cup, but not ankle support.

For me they do, but I don't have weak ankles to begin with, and as long as you tie the shoelaces really tight you'll have support. I ordered 0.5 size bigger (usually I wear 5.5 but I ordered a 6) and it fit perfectly. I found these to be extremely comfortable, especially since the rentals that I was using were extremely uncomfortable, these feel way better.

yes. The ones that I have are with red logo in front. That being said, my son has the "older" version and there really is no difference. I have been very pleased with these supports. Keep in mind, these will provide excellent support, but no device will completely prevent you from a potential injury. I would assume if you are playing at a very high level, you will still need to tape your ankles too.

Yes, they can and by quite a bit. I'm 5.7 and didn't have to raise them as far as they are capable of going. I prefer near vertical position too because I'm getting over a back problem and need to be as vertical as possible.

Not really. My husband wears these over his compression socks and actually wears two pairs so that they stay up. They are a good buy for the $$. They are not too tight at the top which has always been a problem for him.
